Food and nutrition are the way that we get fuel, providing energy for our bodies. We need to replace nutrients in our bodies with a new supply every day. Water is an important component of nutrition. Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are all required. Furthermore, the food and nutrition curriculum provides youth with the understanding of being self-sufficient in meeting their own nutritional needs while also implementing a plant based lifestyle for prolonged health and propospertity.
Mental and Physical Wellness
Physical fitness and health is essential towards a healthy scholar. However, we look at physical fitness as more than athleticism but we look at nutrition, sex education, and naturopathy to improve the outcomes of our community. Furthermore, understanding one’s mental health makes it easier to weather challenges that may come our way. We all face challenges throughout our lives. However, being able to face those challenges with the appropriate tools creates opportunities for young scholars to have better health outcome when it comes to stress, loss, failure, and much more.

Course Catalog: Diploma+

The Diploma+ (Diploma Plus) program is designed to be an enhanced diploma that young scholars of World Academy for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (WAIE) receive. A typical high school diploma signifies that an individual has completed their required secondary/high school education from an accredited institution. WAIE’s Diploma+ program is designed to provide not only the high school diploma young scholars need but also provide certifications and other degrees for completion of specific academic work conducted during their time with us.
NOTE: WAIE will begin the accreditation review process three months before the school opens and will complete the certification accreditation review before the first graduation of our young scholars.
“The most important thing for any young person to do is to create a life for themselves that balances their mental health and happiness with a sustainable and comfortable income.”
— Duron Jones
